“But knowing that we were just minutes away from our girl in case anything went wrong was an immense relief and source of comfort.”

Just five days after her surgery, Lola attended rehearsals for her end-of-primary-school production. And she performed in the show the following day.

She has since gone from strength to strength. Ann Wyatt, manager at The Sick Children’s Trust’s Treetop House in Sheffield, said: “We wish Lola the best of luck on her first day at secondary school - we know she’s going to continue to do everyone proud.”
